Property Description


0.15 Acres Lot
Built in 1938
Sale Pending
1 Units

Welcome to Patten Heights – one of Lakeland’s most desirable neighborhoods! This charming 1938 bungalow is just a short stroll to beautiful Lake Hollingsworth and brimming with character, updates, and timeless appeal. Many original architectural details have been lovingly preserved, including large baseboards, rich wood floors, high ceilings, and classic dental moulding for hanging artwork. The formal dining room is enhanced by a Tiffany-style lamp, and the formal living room offers a working gas fireplace for cozy evenings. Inside, you’ll find 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths. The updated kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, a central island with seating, granite counters, a farmhouse sink, and stainless-steel appliances (2019). Plantation shutters are found throughout, and the split bedroom plan offers flexibility—one guest room with a full bath makes an ideal office or den, while the second bedroom enjoys its own en-suite bath. A built-in ironing board in the hall, a large inside laundry closet (washer/dryer stay), and a gas hot water heater (2023) add convenience. The spacious primary suite is a true retreat with two closets, an updated en-suite bath boasting a huge walk-in shower with dual shower heads, an electric fireplace, and an adjacent flex room—perfect for a nursery, office, or workout space. French doors lead from the flex room to an open Trex deck and a side screened porch. Outside, you’ll also find a relaxing spa, a beautifully crafted Amish shed with lighting and insulation (ideal for a she-shed or man cave), and lush, mature landscaping that creates a private, garden-like oasis. Additional highlights include: Centrally located screened porch off the kitchen, perfect for morning coffee or evening al fresco dining. A rocking chair front porch with wood floors, two ceiling fans, and screens for year-round comfort adds Southern charm. New metal roof (2022) with 3rd nail feature (2023). New attic insulation (2021). Upgraded electrical and plumbing. Hardie board siding and plexiglass storm windows in the primary suite. Whole-house generator (approx. 6 years old). Two A/C units (2017 & 2020). Irrigation system and fenced yard. 1 car covered carport plus additional parking. Located close to shopping, dining, recreation, and top schools, this home offers the perfect blend of classic charm and modern convenience. This one won’t last long—schedule your showing today!
